Rugby Australia joins forces with RefLive to improve match day experience

Rugby Au

New to Rugby in Australia the RefLIVE Management system is designed
for Referee Managers, Referee Coaches and Referees.

The online platform enables Match Officials to be supported
in a more localised and strategic way and is now used by a variety of state and
national sports associations around the world.

The Referee Management System will alert Referee Managers
and Referee Coaches to referees that require additional support using real time
data.

This data will also be available to Competition Managers to
enhance the relationship between both stakeholders and provide increased
accountability and education for negative team behaviour.

Rugby Australia General Manager of Community Rugby Michael
Procajlo said: “The introduction of RefLIVE is an example of our increased
support for Match Officials as well as our commitment to enhancing the match
day environment.

“The RefLIVE system is extremely user friendly, and we’ve
already had thousands of community officials sign onto the program giving us
the feedback we need to move forward

“We want to ensure every Match Official has the support they
need and that means we need every Match Official to sign on and start using
RefLIVE.”

RefLIVE CEO Simon Murphy said: “This a great step forward to
work with Rugby’s national governing body in Australia to proactively help
retain more referees and improve the welfare of our officials.

“We’ve been able to capture a huge amount of data nationwide
and there is significant hope that we can better understand the journey that
referees go through, and enable better support to be provided for referees at
all stages of their officiating careers.
